Transformers Revenge of The Fallen: Descendant's Fortune

Chapter 12.

TEAM N.E.S.T...

"This is Lennox." Major William Lennox answered a call from his headset as he and his team were on duty flying aboard carrier planes. He listened patiently as he received the horrible news and hung his head.
No. God, no. No. No. Of all things in one day. Of all things today. Kiaria. That poor, sweet, and broken girl had to go through all of that. Optimus, my friend, I'm sorry. I'll bring her home. I'll do what I can for her. I've promised you that much.
"We have an Autobot emergency." He lifted his head and informed to his men.
"Let's pick them up and get them home."

KIARIA...

Hours later, I felt the car come to a stop and heard everyone get out of their seats and left through the doors. I followed sluggishly after them, hanging my head in sorrow and shame. Once outside, I lifted my head only a little and winced, causing me to stop walking in front of Bee and leaned against his hood, holding my forehead in my hands.
It hurt quite a bit after I had forgotten I hit it on that tree, and cried for who knows how long about Optimus. At the same time, my adrenaline had worn away, causing my body to remember all physical pain, but it wasn't as bad as the emotional pain I've been enduring.
Bumblebee reactively hummed his engine and flashed his lights in response to my distressing behavior. I tried giving a convincing unfazed expression and patted him to reassure I was ok.
I wasn't.

I soon followed behind everyone slowly as I dragged my feet across the gravel and into the nearby building. My body shook, my head pounded, stomach was nauseous and jumping around, and I couldn't even feel my heart anymore. I felt dead, like those zombies from the horror films. I felt so empty and numb. I haven't felt this way since I was starving back at the abandoned movie theater nearly two years ago.
Only had been two years and so much has changed. So much has been lost. What a cruel life in a cruel world. Now, I'm stuck with Bee and the twins with these...stupid humans. This stupid mission was a failure. I'm a failure. Optimus...I'm sorry. I can't. I've never lost anyone before, until now. It's too much already. You leaving me behind was too much. The Autobots prepared me for anything, but this. How could you?
I wrapped my arms around myself after going inside to find a corner to cry into. I would've stayed with Bumblebee, but I didn't know him too well. My cousins, Skids and Mudflap, wouldn't know how to handle my emotions. Not with them being hyperactive and sometimes unintentionally obnoxious as they can be, sympathy is not their strong suit. So, I didn't want to give them a hard time.
Ratchet, Ironhide, Sideswipe, or any of the others weren't here to comfort me, either. I felt alone. I just sat on the floor, leaning against a corner wall and sobbed silently to myself.

"Hey, um, are you doing ok, hun?" A female voice softly asked me.

I faced behind me at the girl with dark black hair, pale blue eyes, and tanned skin as she crouched in front of me. I somewhat remember earlier, everyone had talked only a little bit to each other along the ride. I heard names here and there and I learned she was Sam's girlfriend and her name was Mikaela. But, she didn't matter and I didn't want her near me.
I scowled at her and turned away. I wanted nothing to do with her or anyone in this room. I heard her sigh and the heels of her boots clicked on the ground as she stomped away. I just wanted to be alone right now with my thoughts, but how could I think with the racket of the television blaring with the human news.
"Citizens of the human world," a dark and deep menacing voice purred over the speakers. "Your leaders have withheld the truth from you. You are not alone in this universe."
I thought it was Megatron hacking into the media network and broadcasting to gloat about his victory of killing Optimus and his plans to take over our world. I finally chose to get up and strode to where Sam was sitting and watching. An unfamiliar face was on the screen, for it was not Megatron.
This new face definitely had the look of a Decepticon, except the details of his features were unique and quite more intimidating. His metal exterior was black and his face was long in length, seemingly decorated with what almost represented an ancient crown . Rows of horizontal spikes protruded from the sides of his facial frame, almost like a centipede's legs. Even his fiery red eyes were made of multiple pupils of light, just like an insect's. This made me shiver as I watched intently.
